The thing is that copyright law doesn't protect against that processing.
The only argument is whether their information was scraped off the internet legally, and the supreme court has weighed in that scraping information that's publicly available is legal.
If you put a picture on the internet free and clear, I can save the picture to my hard drive, and I can use it in any way whatsoever sans reproduce it.
The only question is if making an AI that can reproduce it is in fact the same as reproducing it. I think the question is a very simple 'no', but we'll have to see.
